Some of them are worth more than others due to their rarity, notably the Masou salmon for example. We explain to you how to put all the chances on your side to fish it!

How to catch rare fish on Animal Crossing?
To have a better chance of getting rare fish, we advise you to go to mystery islands ! These are usually good places to catch rare fish, like sturgeon or golden trout for example. You can also try to get some with bait, but the success rate is lower. You can craft bait by finding clams in the sand!
